Tobacco Control intensive cessation support data includes support provided within hospital groups, community services and the QUIT team. Since 1st January the QUIT team now provide an integrated support service over the phone, online, through social media, SMS, and email. The online service includes the interactive QUIT.ie website, talking to the QUIT team via Live Chat, and using our online QUITplan and it is likely most smokers will choose the convenience of this online support service in the first instance. This compliments the face-to face HSE QUIT services provided in hospitals and community services around the country, providing one-to-one and group support for smokers. It is likely most smokers will choose the convenience of the online QUIT serviceThe highest number receiving support this month is from hospitals and community services located in CHO 9 with 151 smokers receiving support, followed by CHO 7 and Hospital Group in the area with 121 smokers receiving support. This month the National Quit Service supported 224 people. There is currently no smoking cessation service in CHO 2. Where there is no local Cessation service the issue is addressed by ensuring QUIT responds to that area.
